He's not the main vocalist of BIGBANG. He's completely under the name of Daesung. It was the first wave, but it became a huge wave, shaking the stage.
Daesung hosted 'DAESUNG 2025 ASIA TOUR: D's WAVE IN SEOUL' at Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul on April 26 and 27. The concert sold out all seats at the same time as the ticket opened, proving Daesung's powerful ticket power.
In particular, this performance was meaningful in that it was the first solo concert in Korea in 19 years since its debut. Daesung, who has been trained with various overseas stages and Big Bang stages, has taken his first step as a true 'Solo Performance Artist' through 'D's WAVE'.

Daesung opened this monumental performance with a new song 'Universe' and invited fans to the real 'Universe'. Set against the backdrop of 'Universe' is the title track of Daeseong's solo mini-album with 'First'. 'Universe' is the 'First Stage' of 'First Solo Concert', which is a combination of 'Gwe' like fate.
He didn't stop there, but he continued most of the stage on this day with the speciality of 'first'. It was filled with the first performances by Daesung, such as 'Last gir', 'JUMP', 'Wolf', 'Beautiful Life', 'Fly Away', and 'Us from that time'. These are also the stages of the new album's tracks, "This album was made with the performance in mind. It's my first time performing on stage, but I think they're songs that set the mood of the performance wellAs Daesung said, a setlist of new songs completed a narrative.
On top of that, the rock-based Sinbo songs are exquisitely harmonized with Daesung's soulful voice, firmly capturing the color of the concert. As a result, the consistent band sound set the axis throughout the stage, creating a sense of genre unity. It was a concert of flow worthy of the name 'D's WAVE'.

It is the first solo performance in Korea, but the solo performance experiences gained in Japan also shone. It seemed that the border on stage was completely broken down by comfortably digesting Japanese songs such as '歌うたいのバラッド', 'Rainy Rainy', and 'Dress'. Even in the ballad section leading to 'Falling Slowly', 'Light', 'Smile', and 'Baby Don't Cry', Daesung's unique rough yet sad tone met the band sound and gave a heavy impression.

The 'Big Bang Stage' that created the root of 'Solo Daesung' could not be left out. Big Bang Taeyang and G-Dragon appeared as guests, helping Daesung at his first solo concert in Korea. First, Taeyang performed solo songs 'Linga Linga', 'VIVE', 'Eyes Nose', followed by G-Dragon's solo song 'Power'. After that, the three of them went on one stage and naturally colored it with 'Big Bang moment'. Starting with "HOME SWEET HOME", spontaneous singing of "WE LIKE 2 PARTY" and "FANTASTIC BABY" continued until the encore. Each member was strong on his own, but he proved again the name value of 'Big Bang', which makes it even more 'explosive' when they are together. It was a moment when the solidarity of those who became stronger through a series of events was conveyed intact.

Thanks to the support of his two brothers, Daesung took out the letter he had been preparing and expressed his true feelings. Confessing that "Korean music was a huge challenge for me," he said, "Nevertheless, I thank R&D Company and D-label for trusting me and expanding my music boundaries, and I also thank the fans for realizing what could have been a plan," he said.
Then "Starting with this activity, we are looking forward to our memories diary to be filled in the future." I want to make the diary the thickest in the world, and fans responded with warm applause and cheers. Lastly, Daesung, who sang the rare masterpiece 'Look at me, defection', ended the show with a unique voice "Your loudness, Daesung."," he said, leaving a strong impression of his first solo concert in Korea.
The just-sounding 'D's WAVE' is set to spread beyond Asia, further and deeper. Starting with Seoul, Daesung will continue its 'D's WAVE' tour in countries around the world, including Ho Chi Minh City, Taipei, Hong Kong, Kobe, and Yokohama.
